"What do you want, officer?" The waiter saw Xu Tian coming in, so he rushed forward.
"A superior room." Xu Tian said with a smile.
"Okay, guest officer, wait a moment!" Xiao Er took off the sweat towel around his neck with a flick of his hand, and pretended to brush it on the wooden stool next to him a few times, motioning for Xu Tian to sit down.
After a while, he came out with the shopkeeper of the hotel. After registering him, he asked Xiaoer to take Xu Tian upstairs.
Entering the room, Xu Tian sat at the table and opened the carved dark wood window casually, and the fresh and slightly cold air came in.
Looking at the pedestrians and vehicles on the street, Xu Tian felt relaxed. Suddenly, a black figure passed in front of him. Xu Tian stood up abruptly and moved away from the window.At the same time, the tall figure on the street looked at the window at the same time, with a pair of dark green eyes shimmering, it was the man in black robe from before!
Xu Tian's heart beat faster, and while turning his wrists, feeling the breath of the tracking technique, he noticed that the man in black had gone far away before poking his head out with deep eyes.
Dongzhou Ping'an County is thousands of miles away from Tianfeng City, how did the black-robed man chase him here?
Is it because the breath on my body is different from ordinary people?Does the man in black have other accomplices?
Countless question marks surrounded his mind, and Xu Tian's face became paler and paler. If there was only one person in the black robe, he could still resist, but if there was another person, it would be a little tricky.
Thinking of this, Xu Tian didn't hesitate anymore, picked up the luggage on the table and was about to leave, but when he went downstairs, he was told by Xiao Er that there was a murder case in the county, and the yamen and the police were coming to check one by one.
Xu Tian didn't want to cause more trouble, so he had to go back to the room temporarily, but he also set up a defensive formation at night, but what made him strange was that he had never seen him since he saw the man in black on the street last time, and his heart was hanging. Also gradually calmed down.
On the third day after staying in the hotel, someone came from the yamen, saying that they were strictly investigating foreigners. Three or four people including Xu Tian were brought to the court for trial. Only then did he know that the old beggar who sold his jade pendant died tragically!
The county magistrate was dressed in a green official robe, and he was stroking his beard while he was still in the cold. His eyes were slanting towards everyone, and he said in a sharp voice, "Well, do you guys know the victim?"
The four of Xu Tian were silent, and the military officer standing next to the county magistrate immediately slapped the table and shouted, "Bold! The magistrate asked you something, are you all dumb?"
Xu Tian narrowed his eyes, and said, "Although (Li Dehao) said that the wild world is divided into five continents and four seas, I have never heard of any law that allows officials to kidnap people to confess their crimes!"
As soon as this remark came out, the military adviser and the county magistrate knew that they had encountered difficulties.
In Ping'an County, there are quite a few ascetics. Although the yamen is an official government on the surface, the locals know that the actual power holders are the three major powers in Ping'an County, the auction, the medicine hall and the hunter's field.
Although Xu Tian is an outsider, he has a dignified appearance, and his temperament is neither humble nor overbearing. Although there is no spiritual power fluctuation around him, he still looks like a person.
The county magistrate gave the military division a look, and the latter quickly put on a smiling face and untied Xu Tian. "What's the name of this little brother?"
Xu Tian sneered and didn't say anything.
The military adviser was even more flattering when he saw this, "My little brother misunderstood, we are also forced by public opinion, the old man's death is terrible, we have such a big event in Ping'an County, we have to explain to the people no matter what.".
Chapter 514
After hearing this, Xu Tian didn't make a sound, but the corners of his mouth moved. The military adviser rolled his eyes half a circle, stared at him and continued: "Brother, did you come to seek refuge with your relatives?"
"No, I'm going out to experience and travel here." Xu Tian had already guessed the bullying mentality of this group of people, but he didn't bother to lie, so he told the truth.
The magistrate snorted when he heard it, and the flattering military commander also changed his face, and asked someone to tie Xu Tian again in a blink of an eye.
"Oh, I thought it was some kind of character, but it turned out to be a warrior!"
Martial arts is a derogatory name in the wild world for people who only know martial arts but don't know how to practice. Xu Tian is protected by secret treasures that will not reveal his spiritual power and cultivation, so the military adviser and the county magistrate think he is an ordinary person.
"Whether it's a martial artist or a cultivator, you can't kidnap people for no reason!" Xu Tian said word by word.
The county magistrate seemed to be annoyed by these boring things, and shouted: "Take them all down, hurry up!"
The military adviser immediately helped the old official with his hands, and the two were about to go out. Four or five yamen servants held each other, and dragged a few foreigners to the prison.
Xu Tian easily broke free from the rope and chanted the incantation. The Nine Tribulations Sword came out out of thin air and immediately slanted on the necks of the county magistrate and the military adviser. They were so frightened that they made ugly faces and screamed for mercy.
"Hero, hero, show mercy!"
"The little one has blind eyes, doesn't know the true face of the master, atonement, atonement!"
The rest of the yamen servants also looked at Xu Tian in a daze, not daring to make a sound.
The sword that appeared out of thin air, what does this mean?Xu Tian turned out to be a cultivator!
They are all ordinary people. Although they usually domineering over the common people who are also ordinary people, begging for nothing to squeeze the people's wealth, but when they meet real practitioners, they will definitely sacrifice like grandchildren.
Now they have angered the cultivators. The county magistrate and the military master wanted to cry but said without tears: "Hero, master, I will let them be released. They are really small and blind. Your lord has a lot. Beneath the sword, show mercy!"
Seeing that the two of them were almost incontinent in fright, Xu Tiancai withdrew the Nine Tribulations Sword, and said coldly, "Where is the old man's body, take me to see it."
"Ah?" the county magistrate yelled stupidly, the (cgee) military adviser hurriedly pushed him, and said in a low voice, "The old man who died in our case is that beggar, sir."
"Oh, hurry up, take the hero to Yizhuang to see the dead body!" The county magistrate hurriedly adjusted his clothes and shouted.
Xu Tian immediately stepped out, with the military adviser and the county magistrate leading the way, and the rest of the yamen servants looked at each other and untied the few foreign men who were tied up one after another, but there was no order from the superior to let them stay in the yamen for the time being. The two watched, while the rest of the policemen and yamen servants followed the county magistrate and went to Yizhuang.
The white banner summons the soul and burns incense to save the soul.
There is only one Yizhuang in Ping'an County, which is located in the southwest and covers an area of several miles. Special monks and Taoists are responsible for guarding Chaodu.As the representative of secular government, the government is already an old acquaintance with Taoist priests and monks. The military adviser and the monk who greeted him whispered a few words, and the fat-headed monk led everyone to the side hall.
Entering the wooden gate, there are coffins in the eye, all kinds of wooden designs and colors are different, symbolizing people's power and status, and the next level is a roll of straw mats propped up in the corner, only the corpses can be vaguely seen The hair and blue feet are very miserable.
"Master Hero, please come this way!" The military adviser smiled, arched his waist, and moved forward like a shrimp, watching Xu Tian's expression while walking, as if once he frowned or had any abnormal expressions, the military adviser would be able to Just kneel down to him.
"Masters, we're here." The leading monk said "Amitabha" and raised his oily, chubby face.
Everyone looked up and saw more than 20 corpses lying in the dilapidated and dark firewood room. These corpses didn't even have straw mats, but lay on the firewood with tattered clothes.
Xu Tian was in a complicated mood, and it took a long time before he said hoarsely: "Is there no one to collect these corpses?"
The magistrate of the county wiped his face, as if he was thinking or hesitating, the military adviser was still clever, rolled his eyes and smiled: "Our wild world has few resources, most of them are ordinary people, very poor, there are a few Coffin boards are not bad, people like this are those who have parents but no offspring, and in the end they don’t even have the family property to buy a straw mat, so we can only...hehe.”
Xu Tian didn't ask any more questions, but frowned and said, "Where's that old man?"
"Here, here, master hero, this one is, I heard that the death is very strange, and not many people dare to come to this room." Dare to approach.
Xu Tian never believed in ghosts and gods. Even as a cultivator, he didn't think there could be supernatural things, so he calmly walked into the middle of the corpses and looked down.
But Rao, who was as calm as he was, was taken aback by the scene at the moment.The old man's face twitched, his eyes protruded, his skin that was originally sallow turned black, like a zombie poisoned by corpse poison.
"Wait!" Xu Tian's eyes suddenly stopped on the old man's hand. The sunlight came in through the narrow window on the wall next to it, and hit the dry grass on the right side of the old man, shining red and black light. It was a bracelet.
Xu Tian slowly bent down, took the skeleton bracelet out of the old man's hand, and squinted to observe.
He had seen this bracelet at the old man's stall before. It was placed together with jade pendants and other antiques. Presumably the old man sold these things because he couldn't make ends meet. But he wanted to buy this bracelet, but the old man wanted to buy it. Life and death do not agree.
Now the old man died strangely. Before he died, he seemed to have seen something terrible. Could it be related to this string of bracelets?Otherwise, why would you hold on to this string of skull bracelets until your death?
"Master Hero, come out quickly, it's not clean here, let's see it all, let's go out and talk about it!" The county magistrate and the military adviser couldn't bear the rancid smell in the room, and they covered their noses and shouted.
Xu Tian came back to his senses, picked up the bracelet, passed over the corpses, and finally left the firewood room with everyone.
When he came to the open-air courtyard, the air suddenly became much fresher. Xu Tian stroked the black skull necklace in his hand, and said coldly, "How did the old man die, tell me clearly."
The old man was not a sinner, and even offered himself a space jade pendant. Although he put a bag of coins on his stall later, it was far from enough to buy the space jade pendant.
That's right, the ring-shaped piece of white jade is a peculiar space treasure. He had seen it several times when he traveled around the world. It was very precious, and it was only a space treasure that was only available to powerful or inherited ancient families. .
Chapter 515
So when he saw it, he was moved.Although the old man was most likely obtained by robbing the tomb or by other means, if the thing is in his hands, he has the right to ask for a price.Xu Tian was grateful to the old man, so he wanted to investigate the cause of death now, at least to give the old man justice.
"Here... you're the military adviser!" Seeing Xu Tian's gloomy face, the county magistrate's old face twitched with fright, and hurriedly handed over the responsibility to the military adviser next to him.
The latter smiled awkwardly for a while, and then said with a stiff face: "It is such a heroic master, the body of this beggar was found the morning before yesterday, and it was said that he was executed on the bridge. He was injured, more like he was frightened to death by something, this case is very difficult because there is no evidence and no witnesses, so he went all out to search all the inns, thinking..."
Xu Tian sneered, and continued: "You want to make a scapegoat?"
The county magistrate and the military adviser turned cold, and hurriedly shook their heads and confessed: "No, no, Mr. Hero, you misunderstood. The common people are having a lot of fun, and even the top three big forces forced us to close the case."
Three big forces?When Xu Tian settled down in the inn, he also heard some gossip and knew that there were three forces controlling the overall situation in Ping'an County, namely the auction house, the hunter's field, and the Baihua Palace.
"There should be other things besides this bracelet?" Xu Tian suddenly narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Cold sweat was already dripping on the military adviser's forehead. He glanced at the county magistrate with white hair and beard, and dared not speak for a while.
But the magistrate of the county cupped his hands and said, "Hey, what do you mean, Mr. Hero? I don't understand, sir."
Seeing the county magistrate's statement, the military commander also persisted to the end, and echoed: "That is, although you are a cultivator and have the ability to reach heaven and earth, sir, you can't wrong me for no reason. When the old beggar died, he was in tatters." Clothes and a string of black bone bracelets, we respect the dead so we dare not hand in the stolen goods, how come you have become the object of suspicion, you are wronged, lord hero!-"
The corners of Xu Tian's mouth twitched, the smile in his eyes receded, and he said word by word: "I'll ask you one last, where are the other things?"
Seeing that Xu Tian was angry, the county magistrate was in a mess.The military adviser secretly whispered to him: "You can't become a master, and this person doesn't know that old man, how do you know that we swallowed those things?"
The county magistrate nodded, thinking to himself, this young man didn't know the deceased, how could he know... Could it be that the living Buddha really came down to earth?
Xu Tian has no patience to deal with these mediocre people anymore, he needs to find out the truth as soon as possible, and how to get out of this place.
Seeing that Xu Tian was about to beat him with a dark face, the magistrate was so frightened that his legs gave way, and he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, Master Daxia, we realized our mistake, the thing is under the wooden bed in my room!"
Xu Tian pinched the center of his brows, and said coldly, "Take me there."
So the group returned to the county yamen at dusk. The military adviser and the county magistrate's room were just behind the yamen. There were two separate small courtyards with rockery, flowers and birds. Xu Tian looked at all this coldly and remained silent.
"Master, please give me that little thing you just bought!" As soon as the crowd turned into the courtyard wall, a woman smelling of powder rushed forward, hugged the county magistrate's thin arm, and took the The two lumps of fat kept rubbing against each other.
The military commander hurriedly pulled people away, and the county magistrate was about to pick up his boots and whip him. After thinking about it, maybe he was afraid that Xu Tian would get angry, so he put his hands on his hips and scolded: "You little bitch, you are so skinny and shameless when you have guests. Come up! Go back to me!"
Xu Tian's eyes fell on the woman's hand, and he sneered coldly: "Should the things be returned?"
The concubine froze, seeing Xu Tian's dignified appearance, she couldn't help holding her throat and said: "Oh, why doesn't this official know how to cherish flowers and jades at all, my family likes such a small thing, you have to snatch it away."
After finishing speaking, he shook the creamy yellow silk scarf in his sleeve. Xu Tian looked at the other party's ridiculous behavior coldly, but his heart was cold.The rich raise a concubine, wear gold and silver, and even handkerchiefs are silk; the poor dig up graves and rob graves, and finally end up cursed to death.
In fact, from the first time he saw the black skull bracelet, Xu Tian felt a trace of evil. The objects attached to this kind of resentment can easily kill ordinary people. Coupled with the corpse of the old man seen today, this is even more certain. a little.
"You bastard, hurry up and call the thing out, I'm going to be killed by you!" The county magistrate coughed anxiously, picked up the wooden stick next to him, and was about to beat his concubine.
"Sir, don't fight, I'll pay it, I can't do it!" As she spoke, the woman took out the gadget that was secretly hidden in her belt just now, and handed it to the county magistrate, who held it in both hands and handed it to Xu Tian.
· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?
It was a small mirror with various strange runes printed on it. Xu Tian held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. This thing was not sold at the stall at that time. Could it be that there are many ancient things in the old man's home?
If not only this string of skull bracelets is cursed...the consequences will be disastrous!
"Quick, take me to see other things!" Xu Tian shouted coldly, with an anxious expression.
The military adviser gave the aunt a look, and then followed the magistrate and Xu Tian into the room.
The concubine snorted coldly, turned her body away from the yamen, got into a sedan chair, was carried by four practitioners, and arrived in front of a meeting place in less than a quarter of an hour.
Concealing the greed and excitement in the main eyes, the concubine straightened her dress, deliberately tore off two buttons on the collar to reveal a large area of skin, then got out of the sedan chair in satisfaction, and walked into the auction venue with her waist twisted.
…
"Hey, look who is here, our sister Qiao." The two big men guarding the gate whistled, regardless of whether there were any pedestrians around, they kept leaning on the aunt.
The latter had a look of enjoyment on his face, but he just said unforgivingly: "God damn two bastards, my mother has something urgent, I feel urgent to report it to your master, the baby will be gone if it is too late!"
The treasures that the aunt said were naturally the stolen goods confiscated in the old man's house. After hearing this, the two big men looked at each other and said with a mixed smile: "Well, Aunt Qiao, let's have a drink with my brothers in the evening, and let's take care of it." how?"
The woman snorted coldly, and pursed her red lips pretending to be angry, "I don't want to repay my love, I don't want to give you money, I don't want to accompany you, go to the hunter's field!"
The hunter's field and the auction have always been at odds. The two gatekeepers changed their faces immediately, grabbed the woman's wrist, and dragged her aside.
"Oh, you two bastards, you hurt me, and you still don't let go!" The woman's delicate voice could be heard, and the common people pointed at each other. They all knew that the county magistrate's new aunt was too unruly, and they flirted and scolded unexpectedly. Here it comes.
In the backstage of the venue, a woman in red was sitting on a grand teacher's chair with her cold and stunning face drooping. The concubine was thrown at the woman in red's feet like a dead dog.
"Master Hua, this girl is the concubine of the magistrate, she said she has treasures to give to us." Chuan
Chapter 516
The faces of the two big men were full of seriousness and respect, which was very different from the previous rogues.
Aunt Qiao snorted coldly, turned her powdered face to the woman in red, her eyes flashed with jealousy, she snorted and said, "I'm here to deliver a letter to our master, I collected a lot from an old beggar's house yesterday. I heard that there are few ancient relics that are treasures, but unfortunately they were robbed by a cultivator, if you don’t go, there will be no fun.”
In order to ensure his own power, the county magistrate usually gave gifts to the three major powers by taking advantage of convenience, and because the auction house was so close to the county government, Aunt Qiao considered reporting the news here, but was caught by the If Xu Tian snatched it away, it would be better to give it to the auction house as a favor, maybe he could get hundreds of amethysts in exchange.
Just as Aunt Qiao was making plans in the dark, the woman in red suddenly raised her eyes, and the flowers on the other side seemed to be shining with a coquettish light between her eyebrows, which made Aunt Qiao startled.
"Leading the way" The woman's vermilion lips parted lightly, and the wide sleeve robe flung a beautiful arc, and disappeared in an instant.
The two big men picked up the woman who was still in a daze, and flew into the air in three or two steps, heading straight for the county government office.
In the room, Xu Tian looked at the magistrate's jerking movements, and his mind was clear.
"Why, it's been half an hour and I haven't found what I placed?" The man asked in a cold voice, and the military adviser smiled flatteringly: "Don't be angry, master hero. Once this person gets old, his memory will not be very good. Be tolerant." , be tolerant!"
